１ Class meeting format

Look at how class meetings should be held to provide a richer and more enjoyable classroom experience.

Looking at class meetings- How class meetings should be held -

Try thinking about what you might come up with in discussions with others. Use your own skills

to make meetings a success without your teachers’ help.

● Planning committee members all propose ideas, which are

collected and organised.

● Planning committee members all propose ideas, which are

● Results of class meetings are posted in the class meeting corner

for all to see.

● Items discussed and decided on are carried out. In

addition, afterward, the entire meeting is reviewed for

use at the next class meeting.

Improving the class is up to you. Actively participate in the suggestion process, from

identifying projects to thinking up ideas, and use the suggestion box to make

suggestions for the entire class.

１ Classroom projects

Classrooms often have many projects to address. Projects involving the entire class are discussed in class meetings to generate solutions.

３ Ways of gathering ideas

Everyone should be able to suggest ideas at any time, ensuring that many ideas for improving the classroom experience are gathered.

２ Criteria for class meeting ideas

When students think of a classroom project, they need to consider if it meets the proper criteria. Verify if an idea is suitable or unsuitable.

When classmates must mutually recognise each

other’s good points, and have disagreements.

●Holding a talent show● Thinking up ways for boys and girls to work

together

When trying to strengthen classroom unity

●Creating a class mascot● Thinking up ways for the class to mark its

progress

When deciding how to use classroom space and resources

●Deciding rules for the reading class library● Thinking of ways to utilise the classroom bulletin board

When trying to enhance teams and duties

●Recognising efforts at team presentations●Thinking of ways to avoid creating waste

Student council and committee projects

●Thinking up ways to achieve monthly goal of ‘quietly cleaning’.● Deciding content for ‘Introducing a class’ on the school PA

system.

Projects related to school events

●Deciding on cheers for athletic events● Thinking about recreation for school

excursions

Suitable projects are things that • everyone should try

• will improve classroom life

• involve everyone’s participation

• address problems during class

• everyone should make

• everyone should discuss

Unsuitable projects are things that• use personal information• might cause injury• require changing timetables or class periods• require changing school decisions, facilities,

or equipment• involve exchanging money• might be bad for ones’ health or dangerous

Suggestions and suggestion cards

Create cards for writing suggestions and set up a place to

receive them. Everyone should be able to propose anything that

comes to mind.

１

Point ● Suggestion box should have a name and be decorated in a way

that reinforces that it belongs to everyone.

● Suggestion cards should be categorised as ‘assembly cards’,

‘request cards’, and ‘idea cards’ for convenience.

Presenting suggestions at morning and after-school meetings.

Set aside time for presenting daily classroom problems or possible classroom improvements at morning and after-

school meetings.

２

corner to encourage suggestions.

３

Point ● Post samples of filled suggestion cards.

● Note potential topics and post them during

breaks and lunchtime.

When there is a desire to discuss one idea for a long time, other ideas can be moved to morning meetings or break times. A format should be devised for discussions, which everyone agrees on.

2.Reason

１ Roles and tasks of planning committee

Planning committees make preparations and proceed with tasks during class meetings. Reviewing past experiences in class meetings allows for new ideas in future meetings.

３ Creating activity plans

Planning committees create activity plans for class meetings detailing discussion agendas. Discussions are held according to the activity plans and proceed within predetermined time constraints.

２ Handing out discussion cards before starting class meetings

Planning committees discuss things they want members to consider before the class meeting, and hold in-depth discussions on presenting them to the entire class.

It might be good to have activities in which first and sixth graders

are paired or small groups are allowed to interact.

When I was a first grader, I felt more relaxed and enjoyed myself,

because my sixth-grade older brother and older sister were

nearby.

Remember to clearly share your own ideas with everyone. In addition, it is important

to listen to ideas from classmates as much as sharing your own ideas. Ideas that are

good for everyone emerge by combining your classmates’ ideas.

１ Example of discussion format

Class meeting discussions are organised so that opinions are shared and compared to reach consensus.

３ Techniques used by discussion experts

It is important to listen closely to classmates’ opinions and provide your own opinions to reach consensus. There are various techniques other than simply agreeing or disagreeing.

２ Becoming a discussion expert

How proficient are you in the critical points of discussion? Let us explore your discussion expertise.

●Students present ideas in their own words when sharing opinions.

• Opinions are stated regarding reasons for suggestions, decisions, and the aims of the discussion.

• Students clearly present their ideas using ‘we’ as the operative word.

●Opinions are grouped and organised for comparison.

• Opinions are given in terms of agreements and disagreements, and by asking ‘How do we combine all

good points?’ and ‘How can we address concerns?’

• Students present ideas they think will be good for everyone using ‘we’ as the operative word.

● Opinions that were grouped, organised, and compared are further

organised to reach consensus.

• Opinions are organised so that they better fit the reasons for suggestions, prior decisions, and the

aims of the discussion.

• Students discuss what to do about undecided opinions to reach conditional agreement among those

with opposing views.

Discussion expertise Can decide which opinions are

good for class and thus lead class

meetings.

Discussion expertise There is a saying that ‘A good talker

is a good listener’. An expert is able

to balance the two.

Discussion expertise Own ideas feel better in class

meetings after identifying which

classmates’ ideas sound good.

Clearly state your ideas.

Gathering many opinions to get everyone to agree on one is called consensus building. This is not merely a matter of picking opinions based on the number of agreements and disagreements, but combining the good points of each and highlighting anything left undecided, finally consolidating everything into the opinion of the entire class.

１ Blackboard use when comparing opinions

Using a blackboard to group and organise opinions when comparing helps build consensus.

２ Consensus-building methods

Consensus building during discussions is intended to get as close as possible to an opinion where participants feel that ‘What is good for one is good for all’. It also involves thinking about how to deal with opinions on which there is little agreement.

Using a blackboard to group and organise opinions

when comparing helps build consensus.

Consider rules so everyone has fun

and everyone gets along.

Summarise opinions in a

few words in boxes for easy

grouping and organisation.

Group and organise similar

opinions about the dodgeball

game and throwing.

Mark how many students

agree and disagree.

Make sure key points discussed

are easily understood in the

Indicate how much time is

Reasons for suggestions

Students will become 6th graders in

1 month. Also, there are some

classmates who have never talked

together, and boys and girls have

not played together. Therefore, a

dodgeball game everyone can enjoy

would let everyone get to know each

other quickly and make friends.

When reviewing activities, discuss any problems at class meetings, and think about how

everyone can help to solve them through team presentations or making new teams. In addition,

activities could be improved through greater interaction between teammates and all classmates.

１ Coordinating duties and team activities

Assigning duties and teamwork are essential to creating a rich, enjoyable classroom life. We highlight the features of these activities to show how they are conducted.

3 Ways for everyone to make team activities exciting

In addition to devising team activities, there are ways for everyone to make class team activities exciting.

2 Ways to motivate particpation in team activities

１ Assembly activity times

Sixth graders have more activities in which to participate, such as school events and student council assemblies. However, sometimes there is not enough time to hold an assembly that everyone can enjoy.

2 Mini class meetings and mini assemblies

When it is difficult to hold one-hour class meetings or assemblies, time reserved for teams, breaks, or lunch may be used for mini class meetings and mini assemblies.

3 Assemblies are as much fun as the effort put into them

Assemblies are more fun if everyone makes an effort. Think about how to make assemblies that are memorable and promote class unity.

Many things need to be determined for assemblies: the time and place, roles, and

equipment. Work together to make assemblies special. Also put your experience to

use in middle school.
